BCS Elite Alliances

To broaden the base of people joining and attending BCS Elite meetings, we are working to form a number of alliances with other IT and senior management groups. We hope that the alliances will not only encourage members of our alliance partners to attend BCS Elite events but also for BCS Elite members to attend alliance partner events. In the future we hope to run the occasional join event with our alliance partners.

We are pleased to announce that BCS Elite has now formed an alliance with the Communications Management Association (CMA). CMA is the UK's premier business communications and network infrastructure professional user association. It represents those individuals who have responsibility, manage or use networks and communications infrastructure in commerce, industry and the public sector. CMA members spend £11 billion per annum in the UK ICT market. They are drawn from major corporations and small to medium sized businesses and organisations from across the UK in both the public and private sectors. The alliance gives BCS Elite members the benefit of being able to attend CMA Networking evenings free and access to other CMA events at discounted prices.

We will include a list of the forthcoming CMA events in the BCS Elite newsletters but these can also be accessed through the CMA website. For BCS Elite members interested in attending full details and affiliate/alliance discounted rates are shown on the CMA website
